Abstract:

Staging and Response Locations collected by GPS
Staging and response locations were identified first by defining the types of locations that fit these descriptions. The broad categories were defined as Boat Ramp, Marina, Staging Area, or any combination of these. A marina may contain a boat ramp as well as a large parking lot with a seawall suitable for deploying equipment into the water. A staging area may contain just a waterfront park with access to the water, but no boat ramp or marina, but perhaps a dock or pier. These categories and attributes were used to design a specific database schema to collect information on these geographic features that could be used on a GPS-enabled field data collection device. Once the categories of information to be collected and the specifics of what types of information to be collected within each category were determined (the database schema), mobile devices were programmed to accomplish this task and area committee volunteers were used to conduct the field surveys. Field crews were given training on the devices. Guided by base maps identifying potential locations, they then traveled into the field to validate and collect specific GPS and attribute data on those locations. This was a cooperative effort between many federal, state, and local entities guided by FWC-FWRI that resulted in detailed and location-specific information on 366 staging area locations within Sector Mobile and a comprehensive GIS data set that is available on the DVD ROM and website as well a being used in the Geographic Response Plan Map Atlas production.
Cyber-Tracker was the software used for this field data collection. Cyber-Tracker is a "shareware" software package developed as a data-capture tool designed for use in Environmental Conservation, Wildlife Biology and Disaster Relief. The software runs on numerous types of mobile devices and designing custom data capture processes for these devices requires no programming experience. Funded in large part by the European Commission and patroned by Harvard University, Cyber-Tracker Software has been a very valuable tool in the data collection efforts of this project. Cyber-Tracker Software can be found on the Internet at: <http://www.cybertracker.co.za/>.

Process_Description:

The attribute data collected in this dataset is based upon infomration collected in the Geographic Specific Tactical Response and Planning (GSTRP) product produced in the late 1990's and early 2000's. Information to be collected by this project was determined by the Area Committee in several discussion meetings. A Cyber-Tracker data collection schema was developed based on these decisions. The Cyber-Tracker application was loaded on numerous GPS-Enabled PDAs and with the assistance of state agency personell from Florida, Alabama, and Mississippi, all familiar with thier area of responsibility, these sites were visited and data on each was collected via the PDA application based on conditions found at those locations at the time they were visited (ground condition). After about three months of this field data collection, the data from each device was collated into a single spatial database and was run through QA/QC for location, spelling, and data consistency. This data was then converted to a shapefile and validated against other similar data set and seamless, high-resolution aerial photography. The fila dataset was symbolized for display on a map and the data was included in the production of the Geographic Response Plan map atlas. 366 locations were identified as positively identified valid locations for oil spill equipment deployment.
